8 | FISHER GERMAN GRADUATE BROCHURE 2021/22
Working in Infrastructure Services, you could be dealing with: • Land Access – negotiation of access to private land for installation of infrastructure assets • Rights Over Land – agreement of permanent and temporary rights • Valuation – assessment of losses arising from a scheme • Management – cable management, pipeline maintenance or land acquisition • Stakeholder Management – liaison with all individuals and bodies affected by schemes • Project Management – ensuring successful delivery of infrastructure schemes • GIS & Mapping – expert mapping, location services and data analysis
I am part of the Infrastructure Services team in the Banbury office mainly concentrating on UK Power Networks and National Grid work. My day-to-day work includes liaising with utility service providers and land owners to form agreements to enable vital work to be undertaken. During my time so far I have been very fortunate to work within a fun and supportive team, making each day varied and enjoyable. This includes carrying out land referencing – both desktop and on site; discussions with landowners about the routes of pipes and cables; finding ways to mitigate the impact upon their businesses and then the negotiation and settlement of compensation after the works have finished.
